Larger PyramidHeight 24 Volume 648
Pyramid Volume = (Area of the Base * Height) ÷ 3648 = Base Area * 24 / 3Base Area = 648 * 3 / 24Base Area = 648 / 8Base Area = 81Base Length = 9

**********************************************************************************c)
Smaller PyramidHeight 8Surface Area = 124
This pyramid has dimensions that are one third of the larger pyramid.Therefore, it has a base length of 3.Base Area = 9.
Its base perimeter would be 12.
Small Pyramid Volume = (Area of the Base * Height) ÷ 3Small Pyramid Volume = ( 9 * 8 ) / 3Small Pyramid Volume = 72 / 3
c) Small Pyramid Volume =24 cubic meters
d) Ratio of larger pyramid volume to smaller pyramid volume648 / 24 = 27The reason? Volume is a 3 dimensional quantity. The Larger pyramid is 3 times larger in terms of the base measurement.9 meters vs 3 meters - a factor of 3When we compare volumes, we have to cube this factor.3^3 = 27

The answer for this problem is D
15. -2
16. A. The pool was originally empty
True.
The median is the middle number when all numbers are placed in order, and so an outlier will not affect the median.
It well however affect the range and mean
Hope this helps
